[$] Filtering fanotify events with BPF

Date:
Tue, 06 May 2025 20:14:21 +0000

Description:
Linux systems can have large filesystems; trying to keep up with the
stream of fanotify filesystem-monitoring notifications for them can be a 
struggle.
Fanotify is one of a few ways to monitor accesses to filesystems provided by 
the kernel.
Song Liu led a discussion
on how to improve in-kernel filtering of fanotify events to a joint
session of the filesystem and BPF tracks at the 2025 Linux Storage, 
Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit. He wants to combine the best parts of a few
different approaches to efficiently filter filesystem events.
